Burlesco Notturno Little Black Slip

Saturday, October 20, 8pm; Doors open 7pm

Burlesco Notturno, that sexy, saucy soiree, returns to Open Space for Arts & Community wearing a lovely Little Black Slip. Wear your little black slip to the show, and receive the most delightful surprise!

Extraordinary artists and musicians take the stage: The Love Markets bring the sound of Weimar Berlin, with songs old and new springing from that era of decadent, gorgeous, absurd freedom. Lily Verlaine, she of the luscious bath, returns with new glorious dances. Paris Original brings an entirely new, balletic, boylesque twist to our stage. Sally Pepper, who soared at Open Air, returns with cloud swing magic and sexier garb. And Dr. Calamari & Acrophelia will perform effortless and stylish acrobalancing and macabre dance movement.

Burlesco Notturno Little Black Slip is hosted as ever by the infamous Mme X (played by Janet McAlpin) premiering a brand new costume - and her Lawyer (played by the infamous David Godsey).

Past attendees have raved about Burlesco Notturno, calling it: ‘The Best Date Night Ever!’ This is an evening of funny, sumptuous, delightful entertainment by world-renowned performers - it’s a night unlike any other on Vashon.

In the nouveau burlesque tradition that waves back to Gyspy Rose Lee, Open Space’s Burlesco Notturno series brings the Northwest’s most extraordinary burlesque and varieté artists together for an evening of exotic entertainment unlike anything else on Vashon. The nouveau burlesque tradition is firmly rooted in Seattle, and is celebrated in venues such as The Triple Door, The Pampas Room, The Pink Door, Teatro ZinZanni’s "Mezzo Lunatico" and many others.
